Contenders is the breeding ground for new and upcoming talent for the Overwatch League. With many of the top teams creating academies to compete in their respective regions, the level of play is already seriously high for what is essentially a tier two scene. But what teams and players have impressed? Let’s take a look first of all at EU […]

Ohhhh boy did Friday surprise us. Fusion looked awful against a suddenly mid-tier Shock team, we were too hopeful about the Dragons and Boston continues to dominate. Hopefully, we’re not as far off on Saturday.

London has been notoriously bad on Oasis this season, sporting a winning percentage of 17 percent heading into the Boston match so clearly there’s something almost mental about it at this point. But the loss to Boston was some next level insanity.

Thursday was maybe one of the best days of matches from the entire season. It wasn’t the three straight map 5s that we had last Saturday, but two reverse sweeps and an unreal Oasis between London and Boston made it incredibly exciting. With three of those teams tasked with playing again today we’ll see if they can keep it up.

As Stage Three gets underway on Wednesday we’ll have the chance to see three different teams try to integrate new players on the fly as well as if Seoul can return to dominance after a rough end to Stage Two.

In the current state of Overwatch League there are 144 roster spots available. As the player signing/transfer window closes on Tuesday 126 of those 144 spots are currently filled. Only two teams, Houston and Philadelphia currently house the max 12 players on their roster.
